******From Harper's: Dana Simpson, a Republican, who opened her mouth and blew the whistle on Rove had her house burned to the ground and her car driven off the road and totaled

******Alberto Gonzales deceives and lies to congress in such an amazingly laughable way that I literally LOLed as loud as I've LOLed in a long time....that quickly changed to depression when I remembered he is still in power and the congress along with the masses (in general) have lost their backbone a long time ago and have helped turned this country into a laughinstock (watch the Daily Show's version of his testimony for more LOL if you can find it) And more proof that he perjured himself

****Here is the lead up to the Monica Goodling testimony and redacted e-mails regarding the attorney firings, and here is Daily Show's very good (and very sad) coverage of her testimony--they're all a bunch of liars, especially Gonzales (in this case).

**More on the illegal e-mails they sent then "lost"

****Daily Show exposes yet another lie by Gonzales as well as attempt (on the President's orders) to strong arm a hospitalized Ashcroft into subverting the constitution for warrantless wiretapping because loyal republican Comey wouldn't AND HERE Comey even goes on to say Cheney was trying to run a "cold coup" on the entire justice department

*****Our system of government has failed us as the DOJ will not enforce congress contempt charges

***Attorney firings: Secret Order By Gonzales Delegated Extraordinary Powers To Aides, as well as some of the Republican politicans who immorally and unconstitutionally used this to their advantage

***Update on attorney firings: New hearing for Gonzales, same exact lies and incredible must hear BS...and they continue to get away with it

****Greg Palast (with the help of some mis-sent Rove e-mails) reports on some of their vote fraud techniques, inside info on the attorney firings, and how they are limiting the supply of oil to keep the prices high to make even more MILLIONS, I mean BILLIONS,  I mean soon to be TRILLIONS.  Here is a portion of his video interview on Democracy Now.

*****JAMES B. COMEY, the straight-as-an-arrow former No. 2 official at the Justice Department tells of the time Alberto Gonzales and Andrew Card tried to coerce a sick, hospitalized Ashcroft into okaying warrantless wiretapping.  Gonzales spits on the constituion and morality once again.  Here is Daily Show's excellent take on this.

***Here is an interview with one of the fired attorneys who is a lifelong republican who voted for Bush but had the crazy notion of doing his job

*******Bush has been taking (some) heat in the media over firing US attorneys and replacing them with republicans.  But the story goes deeper as new info suggests a new attorney is a criminal and contributed to vote fraud AND Remember this: ***A US grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff [in 2003], but President Bush removed the supervising federal prosecutor, and the probe ended soon after. That was no accident.  And neither is Rove's involvement in the firing of an Arkansas attorney and others who investigated republicans and not democrats ("Karl Rove wants two things to happen in time for the 2008 election. First, he wants to stop the US Attorney investigations of republicans. Secondly, he wants to manufacture scandals amongst democrats, and use the legitimacy of US Attorneys to do it. He wants to make it so that republicans are no longer the party of corruption, but democrats are instead. And if that means ignoring actual republican corruption, and inventing charges against democrats, then they will need the right US Attorneys to do this.")

***Fired San Diego U.S. attorney Carol Lam notified the Justice Department that she intended to execute search warrants on a high-ranking CIA official as part of a corruption probe the day before a Justice Department official sent an e-mail that said Lam needed to be fired AND the Daily Show proves with e-mails and actions that the firings were political (The insiders even use the term "Bushies" positively)

***There is a 16-day gap in e-mail records between the Justice Department and the White House concerning the firing of U.S. attorneys.  Related video. (Just like the GAP in the Watergate tapes)

**"Gonzales Gate": Olbermann discusses all the attorney firings and how powerful this administration is to be able to jerk the public around and to keep those responsible for illegal activites in power

**Olbermann: The Administration is continuing to lie and illegally withholding and hiding evidence over the Attorney firings

*******While trying to get the e-mails involved in the Attorney firings, White Officials deleted, redacted, destroyed, and "lost" over 5 million e-mails.  This is all ILLEGAL by the way, and yet they get away with it.  Here is one insider's statement how the way Rove and Co. handled two different computers at the same time made him nervous. More anonymous insiders list the variety of asinine excuse by the neo-cons to delay releasing the requested information And Gonzales lies (badly) in front of Congress, everyone knows it....he should be in jail.  Painful to watch...seriously try and watch without cringing Olbermann points out how this isn't the first time this administration has "lost" data

***Documents made public in the course of the U.S. Attorney Purge scandal reveal that key Administration figures used a private e-mail system.  How large is this secret communication system??  Karl Rove said that they could fix an election from an underground bunker!!  Of course, he said that in jest.....or was it? ("The truth is Chase and I snuck off to have sex on one of the empty hospital beds."  "HAhahaha, that would never happen!")  Who are the players involved in this secret e-mail system and GWB43.com
